"This early post office was originally known as Mud Spring, a name given this location because the thousands of immigrants traveling along this part of the immigrant trail watered their stock here, muddying the spring and the surrounding land.
The Mud Spring Post Office was established prior to Nov. 6, 1851, the date it was approved in Washington, D.C. Darwin Chase was the first postmaster. On Dec. 15, 1855, the name of the post office was changed to El Dorado with George W. Critchfield serving as its first postmaster. Named after the Spanish word for "The Gilded One", because of the number of rich gold mines in the area, the El Dorado Post Office has continuously operated since it was first established."
